Hi all,
I use Emacs 23 & No Gnus, both are up-to-date. When I want to enter the Summary
buffer, I get an error signaled and with debug-on-error enabled, I get this
backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid size: gnus-carpal")
signal(error ("Invalid size: gnus-carpal"))
error("Invalid size: %s" gnus-carpal)
gnus-configure-frame((vertical 1.0 (summary 1.0 point) (if gnus-carpal (quote
...))))
gnus-configure-windows(summary force)
gnus-summary-read-group-1("nntp+Gmane:gmane.emacs.gnus.user" nil t nil nil nil)
gnus-summary-read-group("nntp+Gmane:gmane.emacs.gnus.user" nil t nil nil nil nil)
gnus-group-read-group(nil t)
gnus-group-select-group(nil)
gnus-topic-select-group(nil)
call-interactively(gnus-topic-select-group nil nil)
This happens with all groups, no matter what backend is used. Any clue what
might have broken this?
The last time I did a cvs up on Emacs and Gnus was last Friday, so the
problematic change must have been committed in between that time. A quick look
at the changelogs didn't find anything obvious, though.
Bye,
Tassilo

Maybe it is due to an Emacs bug: (functionp 'if) => nil
Doesn't this do the trick?
(or (functionp 'if)
(defadvice functionp (around workaround-bug (object) activate)
"Workaround bug."
(or ad-do-it
(setq ad-return-value (and (symbolp object) (fboundp object))))))

Indeed. Befare evaling this, (functionp 'if) return nil. After
evaluation, it's t again and gnus works as it should.
Thanks for the pointer.

I can confirm this. I'm using an up-to-date CVS Gnus and the latest
emacs-snapshot package from <URL:http://emacs.orebokech.com/> on
Debian. Your workaround fixes this problem. Has anyone already reported
this to the Emacs developers?
Regards,
Marcus

Yes, Katsumi did. See <b4mej9ih34e.fsf@jpl.org> on emacs-devel.

And by the way, Romain has uploaded a new package of emacs-snapshot for
Debian which fixes this isssue as well.
